Stuck in the Middle with You

I can’t believe I’m getting ready to say this…

…But here goes. 

Wait.  I can do this.

*big deep breath*

OK. 

*clearing my throat*

My husband and I are middle-aged.

Wow.  That was harder than I thought it would be.  Winking smile

It’s true though.  And it’s an interesting time of life to say the least. 

Middle-age brings with it a lot of changes…some of it expected and some of it unexpected.  But in the midst of all that, one thing hasn’t changed.

No matter what happens in life, I am so thankful for this man.  So thankful for this life we’ve created together.

Happy Birthday dear.  There is no one on earth I’d rather be stuck in the middle with.

I love you.  Kelly

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
